Chop Shop Sponge Mops
August 30th, 2008
This suspiciously cute little fluffy Frankenhound is one of the latest in the current craze of cut ‘n’ paste dog breeding - the art of finding two names that go together to make a catchy hybrid word and then spawning them by the truckload. Labradoodle. Cockapoo. Cockadoodle. Pugglecock. Schnauzador. Havanoodle (don’t mind if I do).
You get the general idea. But do we really need all of these newcomers? What’s really fascinating me though is that it seems like no matter which two breeds they fuse, they all end up looking the same - mops with eyes. Can we stop calling them dogs? They’re walking pom-poms.
Look at the picture of me at the top of the sidebar to your right. Now that’s a dog. Observe my wrinkles. Admire my glorious jowls, hanging there like empty raincoats. If I had a dollar for every time a human has grabbed those jowls and pulled them repeatedly off of my gums while saying “yes…dat’s right…look at these”, I’d have almost $45. It’ll be a sad day when they breed the slobber out of my kind - and I can only imagine what kind of hideously fluffy Boxapoo will be the result.
